In the Autobild test, it ranked slightly better than the Cooper Zeon CS8, at 18th place, and considerably better in Gute-Fahrt, claiming the 7th spot. It was noted in Autobild test for excellent Aquaplaning resistance, both cross and longitudinally.


Looking at other tests, it earned praise for good mileage and short dry braking distance in the ADAC 2021 test, despite some disadvantages like delayed steering response and mediocre grip levels on wet and dry roads. In the Autobild 2022 test, the tyre was commended for good safety reserves in case of Aquaplaning, short wet braking distances, and a low-price level. Some drawbacks were understeering dry handling, significantly restricted mileage, and increased rolling resistance.
